How much does Sac fall after being drubbed? BTW, they didn't travel, weren't playing in the snow, etc.

I argue we're peaking at the right time with the hottest RB in FCS football.

Huge stat: Sac 0 for 6 on 4th down. Wow.

Larison - 10 TDs in 3 weeks.

Tattersall - 11 tackles, 8 solo.

Like Rocky.

Hastings 13 of 17, including a couple he had to throw away. Solid.

Hastings 10 of 11. Ags dominating, Hornets limited TOP. Ball being spread around well.

If we can score again, go up 21-0, can we take them put mentally?

Ton of rain. Drenched.

We're just guessing, bc from what I know, none of us are experts. A few things to consider.

One college coach I knew said you have to continually get better towards draft day. Even gaining a few (bad) pounds will cause concern. Dan Marinos name came up, as did a few others.

Doss had standout performances against top FB programs. A 43 yard reception vs San Diego State first play of the game on the way to an anazing 185 yards receiving. Then 13 catches against Stanford. Likely doubled at both places.

Larison was good against Oregon State, 55 yards rushing including one long run. Will he be invited to any All Srar games?

Rain now forecast for Sat AM.

Idaho State Journal: "Then in the final quarter UCD was able to twice convert third down plays to keep their drive alive down the stretch. Five times Larison got the ball on the drive which he finished with that 23-yard score. He started up the middle, broke to the outside and got into the end zone.

“They should have given him the ball 40 times,” Cody Hawkins said. “He’s a stud. I love that kid. They broke a couple tendencies and hats off to the staff when they went with the wildcat formation. A lot of that stuff… it’s just get him the ball with leverage and numbers and he’s going to break tackles. He’s just a fantastic player.”

Good observations. We shot 30% from 3, they shot 50%. Sam Manu added 4 rebounds.

Another option. What's his 40 speed?

As we see with Keelan Doss, it's a huge jump to the next level. O'Brien had a cannon, Benirschke had a leg.

A few posted yesterday worrying that we might lose LL to an FBS program. FWIW, here's what happened to Cameron Skattabo.

He's at Arizona State and has over 600 yds rushing - no. 1 on his team - and about 280 receiving for a 3-7 team. At Sac he racked up over 1400 yds rushing in one season.

LL could be a top 5 RB in all of FCS next year. He's #13 now for rushing yards, unsure why I can't find him in rushing yards per Game, which should be even higher.

How in the heck did he ever land Coach Foster early in his career?

Lan Larrison was 70% of our offense and about 99% of our rushing yards.

The offense needs some juice. Better 3rd down conversion, Chaz Davis early, Fly sweep (at least a fake FS)?, bubble screen, LL throwing (he was a QB in HS), real trick play? I'm obviously not an OC, but I believe we'd all hate to see LL hurt if we just pound him between the tackles for 4 quarters.

Fill the place! Go Ags.

A wins a win, so congrats to the team. In defense of the new OC, I think both Plough and Cody also started out slow / predictable.

Don't we all recall Hawkins saying at his first presser, "I'm not one for 'see ball, get ball' ... I want some mis-direction, guys going this way and that way..."

No tempo (?), no fly sweep (?), put LL or TT in a run between the tackles... [did that cover tonight, I was juggling several interests]? No trick plays?... recall when Jake Maier used to Quick Kick for us to keep opposing speedsters off the field? ... last year with Cody we were predictable with UG, especially on first down. Both Chukwudobe and Babbs have big play potential, but don't get opportunities. Chaz Davis shines, and then drops off. Limited use of Pickett, a lengthy WR (6'4").

I see we didn't attempt one fourth down play (no confidence in our O), but we got 5 sacks. Huge. Kennedy huge w 3 sacks, 4 tackles for loss, Bains had 9 tackles to lead the team. Kavir Bains.

Next Sat could be ugly.

Hawkins moved quickly on his DC when he thought Coach Tucker wasn't cutting it. But Tucker wasn't an Aggie alum.

Ags 0 for 5 - 3rd Down

Yards per pass:
UCD 5.2
ISU 9.0

Why don't we pass over the middle instead of those long sideline passes for 3 yards? And bubble screen?

Was that a draw play to LL?
